We are VERY excited to be welcoming Dr. Grant Murray to our LB family this Winter! Check out his 'hello' video to learn a little bit about him :)

Babies of 2020 & Their Families Need Your Help! Since we have re-opened, we have sadly heard countless families’ stories regarding delayed referral for their baby’s tongue and lip tie assessment due to the limited services available throughout COVID-19 (E.g. In-hospital lactation support, typical post-natal care, etc.). What’s worse, is that many families continue to experience challenges related to their baby’s undiagnosed tongue or lip tie, and are unaware of any associati...on. We need YOUR help to spread the word and raise awareness! Here’s how YOU can Help! 1) Share this Facebook Post 2) Share the attached Self-Assessment Checklists and Tongue Tie Awareness Poster (especially with any friends or family with a little one or are expecting!) *The Checklists are also accessible through our website (www.littlebirddental.ca), from the Airway Centric Header. Thank you for taking the time to help the many babies and families of 2020, With heart, health & happiness, Dr. Sigal and our Little Bird Team Spread Love. Spread Kindness. Spread Your Wings!
